CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: In a candid conversation with CNN on December 27, Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defended his decision to earmark $500,000 for reparations in the city's latest budget, emphasizing that tackling the root causes of the record violent crime epidemic demands a robust and multifaceted government response.
Addressing the surge in violent crime rates in Chicago, Mayor Johnson asserted during the 'CNN This Morning' interview with anchor Poppy Harlow that a comprehensive government effort, symbolized by the "full force of government," is essential to effectively address the complex issue.
Harlow, citing Chicago Police Department statistics revealing a 17% increase in overall violent crime from the previous year, questioned Johnson on the city's safety outlook for 2024. "Are Chicagoans going to be safer in 2024?" the anchor asked.
